Given Quotes

On the things we receive, earn, and take for granted.

Some things in life are given to us outright, while others are earned through hard-won chances — this collection explores both sides of that idea. A few lines connect the theme to bigger questions of faith, echoing sentiments found in our God collection.


Other quotes touch on the quiet assumptions we treat as a given, and the confidence that grows once opportunity is granted. For more on possibility and freedom of choice, see Freedom quotes or browse Great quotes for further inspiration.
